All direct flights to Malaga from the UK & Ireland

Flight Summary

Flights to Malaga are available from almost all UK international airports.

The Costa Del Sol is one of the most popular of holiday regions in Europe, ensuring that flights to Malaga are available year round. Whether or not you can find sufficiently cheap flights to Malaga will depend primarily on the levels of demand at the time you're making your booking, as supply is plentiful.

Assuming you're looking to stay in a resort such as Torremolinos, Fuengirola or Malaga itself, you are only likely to be interested in considering flights to Malaga airport. Finding the best deal for your Malaga flights will involve a combination of choosing the best value departure airport, selecting the cheapest airline and going at the time when demand is not so strong.

Obviously, as with all Mediterranean resorts, demand is highest during the school holidays, with the rising popularity of weekend beach breaks also tending to push prices of outbound flights up towards the end of the week, although daily price fluctuations aren't usually as severe as they are to popular weekend city break destinations such as Amsterdam or Prague.

James Says

If you are unable to find cheap flights to Malaga from your local airport, then it might be worth taking a look at the prices of flights from airports which offer more than one daily flight to Malaga, as early morning or late evening flights can often be much cheaper than those at more sociable hours.

The gateway to the Costa Del Sol is often overlooked as holidaymakers head straight to the resorts.

Malaga, the second largest city in Andalusia, may be the workhorse of the region, but it has a surprising wealth of attractions and was also the birthplace of Pablo Picasso.

Malaga has been a thriving port since Phoenician times, and grew prosperous on the export of its sweet wine during the 19th century. The city's finest attraction is the spectacular Alcazaba, a castle built when Malaga was the main port of the Moorish kingdom of Granada between the 8th and 11th centuries. A remarkable collection of Phoenician, Roman and Moorish artefacts are on display in the Alcazaba's Museo Arqueologico.

Elsewhere in the city, the cathedral is an interesting mix of styles, including a late-18th century second tower that was only half-built because funding ran out.

Picasso fans can visit his birthplace, Casa Natal, or the recently opened Museo Picasso, which houses over 200 examples of the artists' work in a spectacular 16th century palace setting.

If you want to escape the hectic city head to the hills of the Parque Natural de los Montes de Malaga. The name may be a bit of a mouthful, but the park has a stunning array of wildlife, including eagles and wild boars.
